The highlight of the event was Intel’s new smart security technology, which like Apple iCloud, lets you monitor and secure your laptop if lost or stolen. This new layer of security is added at the base level firmware below the Bios of the manufactured machine. Which will not change even if the laptop is re-flashed with a new operating system.

Intel also showcased the unique identifier for online security that is now inbuilt into their chipsets. Just like the One Time Password Generator handed out by banks to secure login credentials of your bank accounts, this technology can now be directly used via your personal laptop hence eliminating the need for a one time password device.

New breakthrough in solar technology

A new prototype solar cell has been designed by researchers at the University of Florida. They claim that it sees new levels of efficiency and could be made using a roll-to-roll process, a spokesman said, "Imagine making solar panels by a process that looks like printing newspaper roll to roll," said Franky So, a UF professor in the department of materials science and engineering.

This process of manufacture has been something of interest for many years but the biggest problem has always been that they simply cannot harness enough energy per square inch from this process to make it a viable option.

However, this has now changed with the team at the University of Florida achieving 8% efficiency in their new prototype solar cells. They have achieved this by using a zinc oxide polymer blend as the electron charge transporting material.
They say it is the process of applying the zinc that is the secret behind their new success. The chemistry team, run by John Reynolds, has added an extra polymer coating that overlays the zinc oxide polymer blend and Reynolds claims that this is what has seen the increase in efficiency, "That's where the real action is," he said. The polymer blend creates the charges, and the zinc oxide layer delivers electrons to the outer circuit more efficiently."
This new creation will now be transported to Riso National Laboratory over in Denmark. There, they will be able to copy the materials and manufacturing processes to give them more thorough testing. It is a collaboration that could see a new era of solar power, "This sort of thing can only happen when you have interdisciplinary groups like ours working together," said Reynolds.

Apple iWatch

Apple has been innovatively making gadgets which are being used, recommended & adored worldwide as they are known for their quality and performance. Very talented italian designers and creative concept makers from ADR Studios, came across with another great concept of the iWatch, and I swear I would love to use this gadget.

Apple iWatch 2 Concept is an innovative design from ADR Studio, and recently it has created a new excitement in the market. Keep in mind that the iWatch 2 is only in the concept phase, and there’s no word on if it will ever materialize. But we would love to see someone take this idea and turn it into a real product.

iWatch2 Concept Features:

32GB memory

LG Introduces New Switching Technology

Better options and features can really help companies to attract more consumers and therefore top companies like LG and Samsungand many others are struggling to come up with better features that can impress the customers all over the world. LG has recently made an announcement that they have been able to come up with a new technology that allows consumers to switch between voice and video modes even while they are on the call. LG made this announcement while they were demonstrations at the Mobile World Congress 2012 happening in Barcelona, Spain.

The company further revealed that the new technology that they have makes use of the high resolution and high quality voice calls that is available on LTE networks. This is why the user can always switch back and forth to voice and video mode even while the call is active. Sharing more information about the new impressive technology LG said that the Conversational Video Service is an extension of Voice Over LTE technology which makes it easier for them to allow consumers to decide how they want to take their calls. LG also announced that so far they do not have a smartphone that can handle this technology but they will bring out their new smartphones by the fourth quarter of 2012.
